Subject: Oh Man, That's Classic Good Stuff!
Very funny stuff, I laughed out loud, I'm going to show my teen kids this when I get back to the states. Thanks! Four stars cause it's a one joke pony but it was good while it lasted.

Subject: true story
This actually a true story. Sgt Alan Magee fell 20,000 feet with no parachute and lived. And he made a full recovery.

Subject: OK effort.
Running time of movie probably matches falling time from airplane. Falling crewmember effect looks pretty good but screaming sound level too high and gets annoying after a while. I'm not sure someone would be screaming like that after freefalling that long, but who knows.

Subject: propaganda reaches new heights
this campy short film mimics US military propaganda with the precision of a PATRIOT missile. brilliant and deeply funny, a must see for anyone affected by the glass ceiling imposed by militarism and military budgets in this country.

Subject: If this is WWII the someone used the wrong flag
This "short" is, I suppose, to be of an incident from WWII judging by the aircraft and the dress of the subject. However, there is a small problem. The flag used in the film has 50 stars which is, of course, the current US flag. The flag of WWII had only 48 stars and was the flag that was carried through out the conflict. The 50 star flag did not come into use for another 15 years. Small details such as this brings the entire clip under question.
